Lose Myself

Here is a thinner me! I have gone up and down 15/20 pounds on and off for about 2 years now. I believe in this picture I was a size 10. After working really hard to stay fitting in that wedding dress, something in me clicked and the after wedding weight came on. Marriage is a major life change and takes adjusting. Good thing it's only been 7 months and I caught myself, cause both me and my husband have got some love weight to lose! Good thing I only have 14 pounds to loose before I fit back comfortably in these jeans.

 

This time I have to concentrate on doing what I know is the right way to live to keep it off. Remember it is a lifestyle change!

Now I'm just fine with fitting into my size 10 jeans. I have no desire to be a size 4. I believe that you can be healthy and not be thin. I was working out 4 times a week, able to run stadium stairs without wanting to pass out, and eating a good diet and I was no smaller than a 10, but toned. I commend people who have the willpower to loose lots of weight and I am definitely not knocking anyone who desires to be a size 0/2/4, I just know that is not for me. Hell look how I look at size 10, I know that I'd look hella crazy if I were a 0!

Here are some pictures of some newly slimmed down celebs!

Now Jennifer is slim! She did it! I'm happy for her because that is what she wants and she looks great! I especially love the printed top and skirt!

Raven Symone has lost what seems like 60 pouinds or more.

She is definitely posing a little sexier in her new body after reportedly losing 35 pounds.

Jordin Sparks has gone from a size 14 to an 8.

They look great, but more importantly I'm sure they FEEL great! I just can't wait to get back into my skinny pants!

How small do you think is too small for you? Is there a such thing?

Beautiful Textures Review

I've finally gotten around to testing out my Beautiful Textures products!

If you remember from this post here, there were beautiful natural haired fashionistas in attendance for the introduction of these products!

My results I loved! My hair was very soft and manageable after using the Deep Conditioner. I have been using in my hair as a daily leave in as well though, because my hair just gets so dry!!! Ughh! I think it's because my hair wants some coconut oil. For some reason when I seal with coconut oil my hair loves it.

Anywho here is a video of the results I got from the product ladies!!!

Try this product out, it's definitely worth the price of no more than $7.00!

Later on!

1930s hairstyles

Great story showing the hairstyles that suit different face shapes, with very glamorous results!
Hairstyles for different face shapes.

Great opening shot of a pretty girl wearing a hair net, sitting under a hairdryer and leafing through a magazine. Various shots then show us which hairstyles suit different face shapes, according to Jean Barrie, beauty expert of 'Woman's Fair' (although both commentary and hairstyling are done by men). This same brunette is seen having her hair set in a style that will disguise a prominent forehead; the finished hairdo shows sausage curls on each side, loose ones on top and a long roll of hair at the back.

The next girl, a blonde with a round face has her loose, fluffy hairstyle turned into a sleek one, combed close to the face, with little curls around the face to "soften the plumpness". A 'brownette' girl with a narrow face has her normal style adjusted to give her curls at the temples and at the back. Very glamorous.

Rockabilly or the So Called Pin- Up Girl Hairstyles

Author: BecomeGorgeous

The rockabilly hairstyle is one of the most sensual and feminine hairstyles, reflecting the most beautiful features of the 40's. It is a rock- and- roll hairstyle which got a hit from the sexy Bettie Page. The hot pin-up model, created a real craze that still lasts in a whole pop culture. It is very popular at the moment, with their main characteristic: the way up high front hairstyle and close at the sides. Bettie Page sported short bangs, which is another nice version of the pi-up girl hairstyle.

Basic Elements of a Rockabilly Hairstyle

First of all, you should know that medium or short haircuts can make the best rockabilly hairstyles.

Another main part of the pin-up girl hairstyle is that you have to get curls or waves along the back part of your hair.

It is a polished look, which needs well hidden hair pins and strong fixing. So make sure you have the proper hair styling products.

Ways to Style Rockabilly Hairstyles

Jennys Pinup Updo

Starting from your curls, you should decide what style you are going to opt for. Tight curls can make a casual look with a back bun and the loose curls can make glamorous big waves in your hair. You can create a huge wave with your bangs or straighten them to get a classic Bettie Page look. Hot hair rollers will do the perfect styling tools for this hairstyle.

Once you got the curl in your long bangs, tease it in the back part of the curl and make the big wave in the front. This will make the main item of your look. Than pull the rest of your hair in the back comb, making it really tight at the sides. Fix it with plenty of hairspray.

For long hair, you have to get pin curls. Get the whole hair curly, and leave it loose with side swept bangs. You can try a comb to, but it will be harder to style because of the length. Finger waves are also a good option. Just make sure you can fix properly the curls into a polished look. The rockabilly hairstyle is very chic and feminine mostly because of it's perfect styling. You can make a French twist hairstyle with all the curls pulled in the front to pin them in large tube shaped waves on your forehead.

The main idea in creating rockabilly hairstyles are the curls. Leave the hair loose, pin it in a French twist and tube curls at the forehead, or make marvelous half updos with tight hair on the sides pulled up in two tube curls and blunt cut bangs in the front, there are endless styling possibilities. Just keep it curly and well polished. Many celebrities opt for this retro hairstyle, because it is edgy yet feminine and classy. Get inspired from the celebrities like: Gwen Stefani, Pink, Rihanna, Jenny McCharty, Dita Von Tesse and many others. Just make sure you find the style that matches your face shape: tight sides for the round faces because of the lengthening effect and loose curls for the long shaped faces to add width.

Prom Hairstyles

Author: BecomeGorgeous

We all get nervous before prom. Everyone expects us to look gorgeous and we also want to be the hottest ones. It is the final contest for our beauty, when we can prove that we can also look good and not only be a great student. We have to take big decisions and be ready to shine. We need a perfect dress, perfect makeup and of course a perfect hairstyle. Here are the hottest styles you can choose from.

Loose hairstyles

Loose hairstyles are the simplest way to style our hair. It is perfect for any length and any hair type. It may be styled in tree ways: straight, wavy, or curly. It is up to us to decide which one matches our personality. The straight hair will lengthen the face but don't forget to keep the face clear by not framing it. It is recommended for round face shapes. Wavy or curly hairstyles are more romantic, that's why they are very popular. It is a glamorous hairstyle that reminds of the fairytale looks. The waves and curls may be styled with rollers, curling iron, or even with the flat iron. According to the result we want to achieve, the curling tool can be chosen by the size and the texture we are dreaming of. Of course, fixing it is an essential part of this hairstyle, but if it's done properly, it doesn't need touch-ups during the entire prom.

Half updo hairstyles

The half updos are great for all the face shapes and hair types. It is a glamorous hairstyle that can be styled with medium and long hair. It provides a very feminine look, and with the pinned up sides, it emphasizes the facial features. If we pump it up on the top, it creates a lengthening and slimming illusion. It is very popular between celebrities to, because of the goddess look that provides. The texture of the hair is recommended as being wavy, but goes well with curly to. For the straight hair, some side swept bangs can look great, while the wavy/curly ones need to tease it up. In this case, don't forget to treat your hair after the event. The half updo hairstyle is perfect for any occasion, it can be done quickly, and fixed perfectly. You can even do it yourself, but for such an important event like the prom, we recommend going to a hair saloon.

Updo hairstyles

If you want the most feminine and chic look, than choose the updo hairstyle. It is perfect for lengthening the neck and it can be styled in so many ways, that any kind of illusion may be created to hide your flaws. Teasing it, pinning it up, pulling it back or mix it with braids, you can do anything you think about. It matches any outfit and any event. Bangs can be left down or pinned up and braided with the rest of your hair. It can be accessorized and spiced up with hair jewelry or flowers. You can even wear a tiara. Vintage hairstyles can be created just as bohemian ones. It doesn't have to be complicated, it can be just as glamorous with the most simple updo ever. Maybe a french twist updo for a really feminine look. The ways to style updo hairstyles are endless. Just leave your imagination free and enjoy the prom.

And lets not forget about the vintage burlesque hairstyles that may be created from all hair types and all lengths. Just make some finger waves, fix them and style it into a good girlish hairstyle. Use some vintage hair accessory and you are ready to go.
